I hope I'm not intruding... I am considering using Meep, but if I were to do so, I would need to be able to import general descriptions of a volume, probably in the form of matrixes. However, the above answer suggests that any import is current not available. The question is: is it planned to be? If so, could such an import of a HD5 file generated by some other tool be expected to work with Meep (without that description being generated by the Meep-geometry functions)?
